I can handle us losing. The question I would like to raise, is over the last 6 quarters where di our running game go? Not the execution of it, because we were gaining good yardage (minus the 4th down stops against Auburn), but the frequency in which we run? Something seriously seemed to happen and we have abandoned it to an extent. I think it is partially because we have a problem with fumbles as a team (both Drake and Yeldon), but tonight showed me that Henry had not only learned to pass block...but is possibly the best back we have already.
don't get me wrong, I don't mind putting the game in AJ's hands to win it (if he has protection), but when we were down by two scores with plenty of time left...and we're running successfully, where does that go?
i don't get mad over losses, but I do get disappointed. This was a disappointment, because we're better then that. Our coaching is better then that, our players are better... I am kinda at a loss for words on what the real problem is, kinda like with basketball.
The last six quarters has been tough on our defense, and our offense isn't helping out with short drives (whether from penalties or passing so much).
Just like with wins, I'll give it 24 hours..and then it's on to recruiting finishing up and spring ball.
Congrats to OU for coming in prepared, and fired up. They capitalized on ALL of our mistakes, and did what it takes to win. You can't take it away from them.
